my idea of what an animated reboot of Supernatural would look like It was so much fun to work on this character design project in my last semester at school. I wanted a "Batman The Animated Series" look After designing Sam and Dean, I designed some iconic monsters. We have Garth the Werewolf, Bloody Mary, the Hookman, and (my personal favorite) ACTUAL DRAGONS. the dragon are meant to look like alligators. I imagine them living in the sewers, sparking the urban legend that alligators live there. I wanted them to be very sexual dimorphic- the male is much smaller and travels the sewers to hunt, while the much larger female stay in the nest to take care of the young

spn20rewatch: 1.07 hookman

supernatural does more racism :/ i really dislike how casually taylor dies. i'm not ideally placed to assess these things (im white) and maybe it doesn't feel that different from how jill dies in 1.05. but it does feel like the classic (bad) horror trope of the black girl dies first and punishing her for being sexual. i think sometimes supernatural has overarchingly positive takeaways about race (rarely mind. but one is coming up in 1.08 i think) but on an individual level it sucks how people of color are treated throughout this show. (kevin my best boy im so sorry. linda you deserved so much better. billie i will avenge you i swear (not a comprehensive list))

the episode opens once again with sam pushing to find john, and dean just wanting to work a case. i talked about this in 1.01 but sam really is the only one looking for john in season 1. dean knows john will find them when he wants to.

rewatching this in full reminded me of the claim made to me last week that sam is framed as a damsel in distress. which was really funny because lori was literally right there whimpering and screaming. but ok.

anyway, here's some pics of dean that make me feel SuperNormal

there is a layer to dean's expressions while burning the reverend's bones that feels weighty to me. and i like my pet theory (which i haven't talked about yet here sorry) that you see dean in fewer layers when he's feeling more emotionally vulnerable. so far we've had 1.03 (claims he's not scared. he is. claims he doesn't have nightmares. he does (see 15.16 for direct parallels)) and 1.06 (shifter stealing his clothes and running around assaulting people while looking like dean). that reading opens up the possibility that there is something about the preacher's violence which more specifically upsets dean but that is i think going beyond just interpreting scenes into doing Specific Readings (which is also fun i think! just different)

Supernatural Rewatch Season 1 Episode 7: "Hookman"

Getting out of the car in such a situation always sounds like a good idea. 🙄

Or not.

"Oh he's the artist. Things he can do with a brush." "You missed a pot there."

Dean's such a big brother.

Dean leading the pastor away, so Sam can talk to Lori.

I do not want to know what it's like, waking up to this.

"Stay out of her underwear drawer." 😂

Sam is so done with him.

Oh he has gotten this speech way too much. 😂😅

"We could stay"

Dean seeing the way, Sam was acting with Lori. And how she was looking after them as they left.

People say they love hearing about your interests until you mention the Hook man. Then it's all "Who is the Hook man" and "why does he dance with His big hooks" and "you're scaring me".

[briefbestiary]

Perhaps more mundane than a majority of entries I cover, the Hook is an urban legend that has had a notable presence and impact in pop culture compared to his similar, Lovers' Lane terrorizing, peers.

The Hookman wouldn't leave me alone, so I bit his face.
